Fat Birds

I spent many months thinking about birds and watching them before going into the studio. I saw fat wood pigeons squabbling in the hawthorn, seagulls chasing air currents on a windy day, a tiny robin singing with the voice of silver from a tree branch. Later on in my studio the first ceramic art sculpture emerged almost by itself. I had to make very few changes and adaptations.

Each bird is personal and here on her own terms, telling the story about what it is like to be a Bird at peace with its surroundings and self. Later on, Chicken, Pheasant, Owl and Peacock sculptures emerged. Each one is hand built, glazed and then smoke fired.
